Turkey's Infidelity Dot Com
There's a new Turkish website in town which, among other things, exhibits the confessions of (and provides personal advice and counsel to) unfaithful Turkish lovers. The Aldatanlar Kulubu (Club of Unfaithful Lovers) got started just a few months ago with its tongue firmly planted in its cheek -- and, up to a point, that's the way it continues to portray itself. For example, the 'Cheaters Club' website emblem is modelled after the famous Che Guevera revolutionary poster... except that in Che's place there's of a picture of 33-year-old TV actress Pınar Altuğ (who was Miss Turkey 1994). Pınar Hanım you may remember has cheated on, and lied about (and been caught lying about) an unbroken succession of lovers that she has cuckolded -- starting with her husband Umut Elçioğlu in 2002-3 (when she committed adultery while he was off in the boondocks performing his mandatory military duties). Since her divorce, Pınar Hanım has had 3 intimate relationships that we know of -- with Tony Teodoridas, Can Tezal, and her current 23-year-old toy-boy Yağmur Atacan. And, the first two relationships ended when she also cheated on and lied about (and was caught lying about) the next of her cuckolded victims. The 23-year-old Yağmur Bey "better not look back," as the immortal Satchel Paige used to say, "Something might be gaining on him." Beneath Pınar Hanım's poster picture on the 'Cheaters Club' website are the words, İzindeyiz (We follow in your footsteps) -- a clever (if not perverted) exploitation of the Atatürk slogan. And to the left of that is a red-star logo with the double-horned symbol inside that represents a 'Cuckold' in Turkey. But things at the 'Cheaters Club' aren't all meant to be in pure fun... They get a bit more serious when you read: The 10 Rules of Cheating Etiquette 1) Don't cheat on a woman while she's pregnant.
Except for Rule #7 (which seems out-of-place among the others, but which may have a Turkish cultural origin), that list contains pretty solid advice, ahem... if you're contemplating a love affair in Turkey. But the question is... do Turkish cheaters have the kind of ethical self-discipline to abide by the rules? Continues at Turkish 'Lying Eyes' Club #2
